Buckeye Flick-It Heads 1/16oz Green Pumpkin
The Buckeye Flick-It Heads in 1/16oz Green Pumpkin are purpose-built for wacky rigging finesse worms on suspended and pressured bass. Unlike the round-head jigs that dominate this technique, Buckeye's football-shaped head design delivers a distinctly different action in the water—a natural wobble on the fall and a enticing shimmy during the retrieve that can trigger bites from fish that have ignored conventional presentations. The football profile also tracks true on the cast, making it easier to place your worm exactly where you need it around cover.
Built with an ultra-sharp Gamakatsu hook and a wire cable weed guard, these heads excel in situations where snags are part of the game: shallow grass, brush, overhanging docks, and any laydown where a standard ball jig would hang up constantly. The powder-coated finish is durable enough to handle repeated casts and fish contact without chipping or rusting. Simply skin-hook your favorite finesse worm through the middle, and the weed guard does the rest of the work keeping you in the fight rather than hung in cover.
At 1/16oz, this weight is ideal for shallow water presentations and lighter casting setups where you want maximum drop time and minimal disturbance. The Green Pumpkin color is a proven finesse confidence color across seasons and water conditions—natural enough to fool clear-water fish but visible enough for your eyes to track the subtle action. Whether you're sight-fishing sparse cover or blind-casting to suspended bass in transition zones, the Flick-It's unconventional head shape and tight action are worth swapping into your rotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to rig a Buckeye Flick-It Head?
Skin-hook your finesse worm straight through the middle. This allows the worm to move freely and impart maximum action on the fall and retrieve while the wire cable weed guard protects against snags.
When should I use the 1/16oz weight?
This weight excels in shallow water presentations, on lighter rods and lines, and when you want a slow, controlled fall that gives suspended bass more time to react. It's also ideal for finesse casting where you need accuracy over distance.
How does the football head differ from a round ball jig head?
The football shape produces a distinct wobble and shimmy that sets it apart from the more common ball-head presentation. This different action can trigger bites from finicky fish that have seen standard wacky rigs repeatedly.
Can I fish this around heavy cover?
Yes. The wire cable weed guard is designed specifically to let you work grass, brush, docks, and laydowns effectively without constant hang-ups, making it a reliable choice for cover-heavy scenarios.
